Two days later, it was still in this public office that pushed the official yamen.

This time, it was no longer Wu Tieyi, the Suzhou magistrate, who was sitting at the top of the table with a worried face.

Sitting high on the upper chair was a scribe who looked six or seven points similar to him, and looked like a scribe in his forties and fifties.

Although this person's face was light and light, and he couldn't see a little anger, the pressure on Wu Tieyi was really not small, and after making him snort for a while, he said: "Dad, you have something to ask me to go back, why bother to go this way......

Wu Tieyi's father, Wu Cang, the current suzerain of the Wu clan in Suzhou, only looked at his son quietly, and only said after a while: "Only here can I see clearly what ambitions my son has, and where does he get the courage!" ”

After a pause, his voice became more and more solemn: "You think that the things you have done will really not be known?" Even if it's something in the yamen, I want to know about it! ”

These words made Wu Tieyi's body shake slightly, and he already understood that this was the fact that his father knew that he had asked the Su family to investigate the case of Hanshan Temple.

This is actually reasonable, although he has some loyal subordinates in the yamen, but most of them are still willing to obey orders because of his identity as the eldest grandson of the Wu family.

"Dad, you know everything......" Wu Tieyi could only say stubbornly.

"I know, I really can't see that you will be so bold and decisive, and you will actually do something against the Su family without telling your family! Do you know how much trouble this will cause to my Wu family? Wu Cang continued to ask with a gloomy face.

"My son knows, but I know better how much disaster and disaster his Su family has brought to the whole of Suzhou!" After being silent for a while, Wu Tieyi suddenly raised his head and looked at his father level.

"It's ridiculous, you have found conclusive evidence, so you dare to say that his Su family is the culprit of the Hanshan Temple case?" Wu Cang was unmoved and continued to ask.

"If you don't check, how do you know? What's more, the clues I've gathered now clearly point to them! ”

Since Wu Tieyi opened his mouth, there was nothing to dodge, and immediately replied: "Dad, this incident is not only the twenty-three and twenty-six brothers of our Wu family were killed, but more innocent people died due to chaos. Couldn't I, as a local magistrate, make decisions for them and find the perpetrators?

"Yes, maybe you have this or that concern, and feel that once you dig deeper, finding the real culprit is the Su family will cause my Su and Wu families to turn against each other, but have you thought about it, the dead are innocent people, the children of parents, and the parents of children!

"Besides, haven't we always been concerned about believing in Buddhism? Now those thieves are so mad that they have destroyed a Hanshan Temple into ruins, don't they deserve to die even more?

"Is it because they are the Su family, I have to let them go, and then randomly find some more innocent people to be criminals, deceive all the victims, and make them believe that all this has nothing to do with the Su family?

"Just because they are the Su family, I have to ignore the law, turn black and white upside down, and even turn a blind eye to such a serious crime? Then what face do I have to stand here and call myself a Suzhou pusher? ”

His son's sudden outburst really caught Wu Cang off guard, he looked at Wu Tieyi blankly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the end, he sighed: "I see...... So in your heart, the law is far above the interests of my Wu family's entire family? ”

It turns out that the son he has always been proud of has long since ceased to be of the same mind as the whole family!

Wu Tieyi was silent, in fact, he didn't have a definite answer about which of the two was more important in his heart, and even he didn't have a definite answer.

But this gave Wu Cang the feeling that he acquiesced, which made his face instantly gloomy: "In this case, from now on, you don't have to be this official anymore, and all affairs will be handled by your subordinates." You just go home with me and think about it behind closed doors! ”

"Dad, I'm ......" Wu Tieyi was stunned, he didn't expect his father to make such a decision.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm giving orders!"

Wu Cang squinted, the momentum on his body was more than twice as strong as before, and his voice became more and more calm: "I am thinking about the overall situation of Suzhou." If you still think that you are a descendant of my Wu family, then go home obediently, and you don't have to pay attention to the rest of the matter;

"If you don't think that you are a descendant of the Wu family, you are even less worthy of being the official of Suzhou, and you should leave!"

"Dad, why?" Wu Tieyi's face was shocked and unacceptable.

"I said, this is for the sake of the overall situation of Suzhou. If my Wu family and the Su family really fight, how can the consequences be counted as a few hundred deaths? And if you want to check the Su family, the consequences will inevitably be like this! Wu Cang said, he had already stood up, obviously he didn't want to talk to his son anymore, he had already made up his mind.

Wu Tieyi didn't move, the expression on his face changed again, and finally became resolute: "Dad, please forgive me for being unfilial, I can't listen to what you say!"

"I was appointed as a governor of Suzhou by the order of Lord Taishou, you are not an official of the imperial court, and you have no right to take my official position!

"Since I have decided to investigate this case, there is no reason to give up halfway. Not to mention that it is the Su family that has been found, even if someone from my Wu family is involved, I will definitely investigate to the end and bring him to justice! ”

The categorical response completely caught Wu Cang off guard, and now he looked at his son again, and he really felt so strange, so strange that he didn't even feel a chill in his heart, so strange that he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words of scolding.

At this moment, a burst of applause rang out from outside the hall, and an approving voice followed: "Well said! ”

This sudden movement made the faces of the Wu family's father and son change again, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the door of the hall.

You must know that this is a secret conversation between their father and son, as early as after Wu Cang came in, he has withdrawn from all the people left and right, and there is no possibility that there are still people in the ten zhang range around this public house.

But at this juncture, someone heard their conversation, and it was such a terrible conversation!

Wu Cang's heart was beating faster, and there was already a flash of murder in his eyes.

And at this moment, a young man smiled and walked in lazily. As if he didn't notice the nervousness of the father and son at all, he only hugged his fist at Wu Tieyi and saluted: "I really looked down on Lord Wu before I went down, you are real, a good official who is willing to be the master of the people, and it is natural to be called Qingtian!"

"Sun Changan admires people like you the most, then let us join forces, let the truth be made public, and let the evil pay the price they deserve!"
